Mumba is rocked!
Uzo dips a shoulder and cracks Mumba with a mighty uppercut! Mumba falls back against the cage and Uzo unloads with a barrage of strikes! Mumba is completely out with his eyes open, only supported by the cage! Save him ref! Eventually the ref decides to do his job and jumps in - Uzo screams abuse at the incompetent official before going over to celebrate with his corner. Brutal stuff!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:59 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Jay Uzo!
Jay Uzo is the new light heavyweight champion!
Jay Uzo took to the microphone after his victory and thanked his sponsors, IniTech Nutrition for their support in the buildup to the fight.
